We aim to build mission-critical solutions for cybersecurity resilience and risk management, disaster recovery and migration that help organizations globally enable digital transformation while still protecting their investment in the highest-value (and highly targeted) on-prem assets such as Active Directory. In fact, Active Directory (AD) is every cyber criminal’s favorite attack target because it provides primary authentication and authorization for 90% of the Global Fortune 1000. If adversaries compromise AD via ransomware or other tactics, then they can shut down an entire business.

• Efficiently managing and protecting identities in a hybrid AD ecosystem 
• Securing intellectual property (IP), regulated information and other critical data 

• Accelerating digital transformation to the Microsoft 365 cloud
